WHY? The bed on this little truck is just a shade over 5 feet long, and many times I have to haul cargo that is longer; an extender is a nice option for grabbing a little more room. Since this SV model comes with the UtiliTrack cargo system, I elected to go with the OEM sliding extender that fits in the side rails. I had the sliding extender in my 2005 Frontier and really loved its utility, so I really wanted one in the new truck. As soon as I got the new ride in the garage I went shopping online; my local dealer IS NOT the place to go to buy accessories. I located an extender at an eBay seller called partsfornissans; they have good prices and a solid reputation. Their price was $153, with free shipping. I paid via Paypal.
SERVICE. EXCELLENT. I received a confirmation email immediately after purchase and a notification of shipping and a tracking number within 2 days. Shipping took longer than normal because of the Christmas holiday, but was acceptable. The unit arrived disassembled, with all parts in the box. The installations must be downloaded from the Nissan website; you can find them here. The rails are powdercoated in a black color and matched the bed of my particular truck very nicely.
INSTALLATION. This job could be accomplished by most any owner, but does require a #20 torx driver that might not be in everyone's tool box. Working carefully, I had the extender and in place in about 20 minutes--not a difficult installation at all.
RESULTS. Pretty good. Once the extender is set up and properly installed it moves easily in the side tracks and can be set up for use in a number of different positions; when not in use it folds up out of the way against the front wall of the truck bed. I can set it in place and clamp it securely in just a matter of seconds. A nice feature is the addition of two straps (see pic below) that secure the unit against the tailgate. They snap into the tailgate latches and can be released by pulling on the tailgate release--a nice touch. My only reservation about the extender is that it can be removed by hand, making it vulnerable to thieves. Overall, I give Nissan high marks for a bed extender that integrates well with the UtiliTrack system and functions well as designed.
WORTH THE MONEY? I believe so. It is a little pricey, but it is a well-made piece and works well with the rest of the truck.

NCGA TESTIFIES ON IMPORTANCE OF BIOTECHNOLOGY AT GMO HEARING
Home News & Resources News Stories NCGA Testifies on Importance of Biotechnology at GMO Hearing
Ohio corn grower John Linder, a member of the National Corn Growers Association's Trade Policy and Biotechnology Action Team, testified before a committee of the National Research Council (NRC) on the importance of innovation and biotechnology to agricultural production during a hearing Monday. The hearing, which was held in Washington, was part of a broader review of crop biotechnology.
"Farmers take pride in producing food not only for American families but also for our own," Linder testified. "Modern biotechnology provides American farmers with safe and sustainable ways to protect our crops, allowing us to continue producing the safest, most reliable food supply in the world."
Linder, who grows both genetically modified and non-genetically modified crops, spoke with committee members about the impact he had personally witnessed growing biotech crops on his farm.
"We are dry land farmers. I can say with confidence that my dad would be shocked at the production we get in years where we have minimal rainfall," Linder explained. "Genetics and biotechnology have had a big impact on water usage and the use of herbicides. We really do practice sustainability."
Linder was the only farmer to provide testimony. Other speakers voiced concern about the need for an independent government review of GMO crops, weed and insect resistance to GMO crops, cross-contamination of GMO and non-GMO fields, and consolidation of global seed supply.
Linder noted that biotechnology will play a significant role in feeding the growing world population.
"If we really are going to have the population growth expected, we need these products to get us there so that we can meet the world's needs. I think biotech is going to be key to that."
The NRC is the operating arm of the National Academy of Sciences, a Congressionally-chartered nonprofit providing science, technology and health policy advice to the government. The GMO study is partially sponsored by the U.S. Department of Agriculture and will be completed in 2016.
Committee members working on the study include scientists specializing in ecology, genetics and crop health from several public universities, as well as experts from nongovernmental organizations including the International Food Policy Research Institute and The Nature Conservancy.

Perhaps mentally, I look for it or even create it, however my brain is wired, the highlight is, I do take notice.
I guess this is why I am drawn to the intentionally beautiful. I am a sucker for product packaging, sometimes I sit and imagine (writers have a lot of imagination, in case you haven't noticed!) Anyway, I visualize what could have been the process of creating. The actual round table discussion of how whatever it is, came to be.
It is not only about the what can be seen, it is also what can be heard. I love to arrive at the symphony or at a concert well before it starts. I so enjoy the preparation, how the sounds come together, and blend and flow. It is fascinating to me.
I hope you find beauty in your everyday life...remember, you have to look for it, train the eyes and ears...once you do, you elevate your sensory to a whole new level.

How many chromosomes do Great Apes have? Why do Humans have 23 pairs of chromosomes and Great Apes 24? (With Reasons, Proofs, Comparison, and More)

How many chromosomes do Great Apes have?
How many chromosomes do Lesser Apes have?
Why do Humans have 23 pairs of chromosomes and Great Apes 24?
3 Strong Pieces of Evidence: To prove that Humans have 23 pairs of chromosomes and Great Apes have 24 pairs of chromosomes
Did Neanderthals have 23 chromosome pairs or 24?
Let's Know More: Comparison of Human and Chimpanzee Chromosome
Human Chromosome
Chimpanzee Chromosome
Great Apes are of four types: Gorillas, Bonobos, Orangutans, and Chimpanzees. All great apes have 24 pairs of chromosomes, meaning that they have 48 (2N=48) chromosomes in each and every cell of their body.
Their present chromosomal presence is due to the cause of recombination, natural selection, mutation, susceptibility to disease, and gene flow that have occurred in their ancestors over the timespan of evolution.
Major research studies were conducted on Chimpanzees by a group of researchers that showcased that in Great Apes like Chimps there are millions of single-nucleotide changes, mutations, and chromosomal rearrangement patterns that can only be seen through detailed genetic analysis of DNA fragments.
This also brings light to how humans differ from great apes like Chimpanzees and others. We will learn more about this in detail. So, just keep reading.
Lesser Apes are of two types: Gibbons, and Siamangs. Gibbons have 22 pairs of chromosomes, meaning that they have 44 (2N=44) chromosomes in each and every cell of their body.
And, on the other hand, Siamangs have 25 pairs of chromosomes, meaning that they have 50 (2N=50) chromosomes in their each and every cell.
As seen after detailed genetic analysis conducted on Gibbons that due to their chromosomal patterns and DNA matching, lesser apes like Gibbons genome can be something about 96% similar to human genome.
Their gene analysis also shows that lesser apes like Gibbons are a connecting bridge between Old World Monkeys like Macaques and the great apes like Chimpanzees. And, this has brought light to both genetic and evolutionary studies overall.
There is a unique feature in Gibbons that is called LAVA transposon (a class of genetic elements that can "jump" to different locations within a genome), and this has led to increased mutation rate and so better environment adaptational features in these lesser ape species and sub-species.
So, what the LAVA transposon did in the past, and will be doing anywhere in the near future? Over the course of evolution, LAVA transposon had caused a very rapid rate of chromosomal disorder and rearrangements such as duplications, deletions, or inversions of large DNA fragments, and this will continue in the future too.
This has contributed a lot to their evolutionary developments overall in comparison to their close relatives.
Thus, at present researchers use gibbons as genetic models for their undergoing research focusing on broadening the implications to human diseases related to chromosomal changes like cancer, etc.
As proposed by Charles Darwin it is to be noted here that both Humans and Great Apes shared a common ancestor, which was a kind of an ancestral Ape species that used to live somewhere between 8 and 6 million years ago.
But, here it is to be also noted that both humans and great apes like Chimpanzees had evolved differently from that common ancestral Ape, and became two different species. Their DNA, passed from generation to generation, changed too.
Humans have 23 pairs of chromosomes and Great Apes have 24 pairs of chromosomes because of the fact that the two different ancestral chromosomes of our ancestral ape fused at their telomeres potion (i.e. head-to-head fusion) to form a single human chromosome 2.
This head-to-head fusion of two different ape chromosomes to form a single human chromosome 2 is believed to have happened around 0.75 to 4.5 million years ago.
So, here in the case of Great Apes, there was no such fusion. And, as a result of which they evolved by having the same 24 pairs of chromosomes as there were in the ancestral ape.
And, in the case of humans, the fusion of the two different types of ancestral chromosomes of the ancestral ape caused the formation of a single Human Chromosome 2 and thus decreasing one chromosome pair. This led to the presence of only 23 pairs of chromosomes in humans.
This caused a noted genomic difference between humans and chimpanzees (a Great Ape) over the course of evolution.
So, YES, the common ancestor had 24 pairs of chromosomes, and humans carry a fused chromosome that is the Human Chromosome 2, and this chromosome is unique to the human lineage of evolution.
This is also the reason why Humans and Chimpanzees and Bonobos share a surprising 98.8% of their DNA.
Do you know? Chromosome 2 is the second largest of the 46 chromosomes found in human cells consisting of about 243 million base pairs, and making up around 8% of the total DNA present within our cells.
In order to give a clear-cut possible explanation as of why Humans have 23 pairs of chromosomes and Great Apes have 24 pairs, various researchers have proposed different possible explanations.
These different possible explanations depend on the below mentioned two mainstream explanations for the discrepancy:
Humans carry a fused chromosome 2, and that the common ape ancestor carried 24 pairs of chromosomes.
Great Apes carry an unknown split chromosome, and that the common ape ancestor carried 23 pairs of chromosomes.
However, after peer-reviewed and peer-research were conducted a noteworthy mutation was noticed on one of the Human Chromosomes (most probably the Human Chromosome 2), and this gave pure evidence as to why Humans have 23 pairs of chromosomes and Great Apes have 24 pairs.
Let's know the three pieces of evidence that were known after peer-reviewed and peer-research:
Evidence 1: It was seen that after chemically dyeing of the Human Chromosome 2 and after comparing it with that of the Great Apes like Chimpanzee's chromosomes it was seen that the dye pattern of the Human Chromosome 2 closely matches that of the two separate chromosomes found in Great apes. These two separate chromosomes were: Chimpanzee Chromosome 2, and an extra chromosome that does not match any other human chromosome.
Evidence 2: We all know that a centromere is a constricted central region of a chromosome that separates it into a short arm, and that a chromosome normally has one centromere at which a chromosome's two identical strands are joined. In Human Chromosome 2 it was noticed that a presumably inactive remaining of a second vestigial centromere is already there.
Evidence 3: Human Chromosome 2 has telomere sequences not only at both ends but also in the middle. Usually, any normal chromosome has telomeres at both ends only, but here it is not the case. These are the additional vestigial telomere sequences placed in the q13 band, far from either end of the chromosome.
Neanderthals (also called Neandertal) were a member of a group of early-staged humans that live something about 2.5 million to 11,700 years ago in the regions of Eurasia from the Atlantic regions of Europe eastward to Central Asia parts, and in the north of present-day Belgium, and in the south towards the Mediterranean and southwest Asia.
Neanderthals had 23 chromosome pairs of chromosomes as they were also species of early humans that are now extinct.
The modern-day humans, great apes, and Neanderthals (those early humans) had that common ancestral ape with 24 pairs of chromosomes.
So, yes, just like in the case of modern-day humans, in the Neanderthals too two different ancestral chromosomes of the ancestral ape fused at their telomeres potion (i.e. head-to-head fusion) to form a single human chromosome 2.
Do You Know? Together with Asian people known as Denisovans, Neanderthals are our closest ancient human relatives.
Both Denisovans and Neanderthals had 23 chromosome pairs of chromosomes, and that the traces of their genetic characteristics remain in our genome.
So, we can also say that Neanderthals were also our close ancestors and they also had that fused Human Chromosome 2 that they got during the course of evolution from that ancestral ape.
Chromosomes are large strands of DNA that got tightly packaged, coiled, and organized into thread-like structures around proteins called histones that support their structure in each and every body cell. Humans have 23 pairs of chromosomes.
Chromosomes in humans can be divided into two types: 22 pairs of autosomes (body chromosome(s)), and 1 pair of allosome (sex chromosome(s)).
Sex chromosomes or Allosomes are different depending on whether you are male (XY chromosome pairs for male), or female (XX chromosome pairs in female), where X and Y are two different sex chromosomes.
Human chromosomes contain anywhere between 20,000 and 25,000 genes. And that every person has two copies of each gene, one inherited from each parent.
Chimpanzees have 24 pairs of chromosomes. It is also to be noted that Humans and Chimpanzees share a surprising 98.8% of their DNA, with about 35 million single-nucleotide changes, five million insertion/deletion events, gene duplication, and various chromosomal rearrangements.
The major genomic differences between Human and Chimpanzee chromosomes can be well noticed in the chromosome segment inversions on human chromosomes 1, 4, 5, 9, 12, 15, 16, 17, and 18.
Certain genes such as the Forkhead-box P2 transcription factor which is involved in speech development, other genes that are involved in hearing, smelling, thinking, immune system defense, etc. have evolved a lot and are much more advanced and different in the human lineage.
The results of the Chimpanzee genome project reported that the ape ancestral's chromosomes 2A and 2B that fused head-to-head to produce the human chromosome 2 showed that no genes were lost from the fused ends of 2A and 2B.
In the site of fusion in the Human chromosome 2, there are approximately 150,000 base pairs of sequence that cannot be not found in chimpanzee chromosomes 2A and 2B.

Permanent Style:
- Does not take money for content
- Covers all and every brand, whether products are discounted or free, or not
- Covers those brands in the same way, whether products are free or not
- and, Does not allow brands to have any influence over content
This is spelt out in more detail below, including the context of the rest of the industry - showing how unusual Permanent Style is - and the law that has been developed - which is in line with our approach
At Permanent Style we have always been clear that we do not take cash for any content, are not involved in any affiliate marketing, and do not include paid-for links in articles.
This is in stark contrast to the majority of luxury magazines and online influencers. The former regularly include coverage as part of their advertising arrangements, while the latter make most of their money through such paid content.
Instead, Permanent Style is funded through display advertising and selling our own products, like a regular shop. Both seem more straightforward and transparent to us, and readers seem to agree, saying they both understand and appreciate the difference. They always know what they are getting.
As 'Fabrizio' commented recently on the site in response to this information: "I don't want to sound condescending, but your explanation and the way you conduct your business, along with your knowledge, makes you the best and, certainly, the most honest internet style expert. I just needed...confirmation of what I already suspected."
A couple of examples might be illustrative. First, an email received from a denim brand, asking "what your rates are for posts and for social". When told that this is something we don't do on principle, the reply was "well, that's certainly unusual, but thanks for letting us know". We receive a few emails of this type every week.
Second, a Japanese car company that wants to celebrate Japanese craft by getting writers to produce articles on menswear craft companies. Nothing wrong with that. This is something Simon might do for the car company, to run purely on their website, as a normal piece of freelance writing. However, they also require the content to appear on Permanent Style and its channels. As a result, it was turned down.
The regulation
Because we do not take paid content in this manner - where a brand both pays for coverage and is involved in what that content should be or how it should be published - the UK CAP code and guidance from the ASA do not apply. They are concerned with magazines or influencers taking payment in this way and not disclosing it to their followers.
The only area where that regulation applies is where we are writing about our own products or events. In that case, we always try to make this clear, by saying they are available to buy on the shop, for example.
Separately, consumer protection legislation enforced by the CMA does apply. This requires disclosure of any payment, in cash, kind or perk. It includes free products but also any discount, no matter how small. As staff on Permanent Style often receive press discounts, and sometimes products for free - like any mainstream magazine - we wish to make that clear and declare it here. Given the number of things that are discounted, readers should assume that any product covered is effectively a payment in kind under these rules.
However, this is not the same as paid content, as described above and defined by the ASA - because there is no 'control' over what is produced. Regulators liken it to a TV programme being sponsored - with an advert by that sponsor at the beginning and end. SEAT might sponsor a crime drama on Channel 4, but there are very clear rules around them having no other involvement in the programme.
Indeed, any regular Permanent Style reader will be aware that discounts and free products make no difference to the content. If anything, reviews of free products might be harsher on average than others paid for or with press discounts. (P Johnson being the best-known example.)
Brands that advertise also receive no more or less coverage than others (a particular problem with traditional magazines). As one reader commented during an online discussion of this point "a merely cursory glance makes it clear that some advertisers receive a lot of coverage, some get none, and non-advertisers also get a lot".
To be honest, we think that if this wasn't the case then Permanent Style wouldn't survive for long. There are lots of other places to go online, and its loyal following would slowly ebb away. But by saying that the CAP code does not apply to our content, we are also making a clear declaration that this is the case.
For more on how this policy is publicly declared to readers, see this post: 'Are you for sale?'
Work for brands
We also think it is important to declare here all other commercial relationships that Permanent Style, or founder Simon Crompton, has with individuals or brands.
Simon has been a freelance writer for many years and writes for publications such as Robb Report, The Rake and How To Spend It. He has also written articles for brands, for their own websites. For several years he ran the in-house blog at Anderson & Sheppard, for example. The only brand he currently writes for in this way is Drake's. There is no guarantee that these articles will also be promoted through Permanent Style channels.
Simon also occasionally works with brands to give them advice on their website, their marketing or their product. The only company he is currently doing this with is Clutch Cafe, where he helps style outfits for their social media.
Other types of relationships are (this should be exhaustive):
- Video sponsorship. Generally where a film is shown in partnership with a brand, such as this video on suede care with Valstar, the brand has covered the costs of making the film - but still does not have control over what the video contains.
- Pop-up shops. When Permanent Style runs pop-up shops selling its products and those of other brands, the brands have paid a fixed and a variable fee to appear, largely to cover the costs of running the shop.
Symposia and other events. For events like the Symposium talks held around the world, the brands sponsoring the event have also normally paid the costs of holding the event, including Simon's costs (travel, accommodation etc).
This page will be updated as similar relationships are established, or end.
If you have questions about any of these points, please contact us. We are consistently trying to make this area clearer. Email Simon at [email protected].

Part of Los Angeles' Heavyweights Crew, which included Freestyle Fellowship, Medusa, and Ganjah K, Volume 10 has been part of the West Coast's vibrant underground rap scene since the '90s. Like many Los Angeles MCs, Volume 10 honed his skills during battles at the Good Life Cafe, but set himself apart as an MC able to balance both thuggish violent imagery and skill-heavy open mike styles. After a guest spot on Freestyle Fellowship's Inner City Griots in 1993, he released his debut full-length, Hip-Hopera, through RCA. The album spawned Volume's hit anthem, "Pistol Grip Pump," which would later be covered on Rage Against The Machines' Renegades. Volume 10's single, "Vogue," reunites him with the Baka Boyz, who produced his hit, "Pistol Grip Pump."

In this heartwarming and poignant tale, Sam and his family challenge the immensity of an uncertain future with strength, love, humor, and a touch of the unexpected.
Title: Blue (CD Single)
Vincent van Gogh once said, "There is no blue without yellow and without orange." Well, jazz keyboardist Ed Roth agrees as he embraces the musical color palette with his first originally penned single release, "Blue." Roth notes, "While I am enjoying a wonderful career for so many years as a sideman, band member, and co-writer for other acts, it's great to be a solo artist releasing a song that I've penned myself. It's my time. As much as your personality shows in your playing, it's even more evident in your songwriting. When you just let the writing and playing emerge naturally and don't force things one way or the other, who you are is really on display. So, light some candles and pop the beverage of your choice�I do hope that 'Blue' takes you somewhere special."

Taggart & Rosewood is Zach Coulter (Solid Gold) and Ryan Olson (Polica), founding members of Gayngs. After years in the studio and the addition of Jim Eno (Spoon) on drums, the new collaboration culminated in their debut album The Killingest. Existing in a dream state, The Killingest is a rumination on something vast and powerful. Made with precision and depth, it is filled with reason and purpose. But of what, we don't know.
What we do know is that The Killingest was crafted unlike any other album. With the help of an Emotiv EEG to USB brain computer interface conducted by Mark Mallman through the Logic MIDI Bridge, the synapses of their DMT-influenced brains were translated to audio and dispersed throughout the album. The result is a deeply ethereal space that Taggart & Rosewood seem to have always filled, without us ever knowing.
The album was written at 55 beats per minute, and variations thereof. An intentional pace, the tempo is a necessary choice to match the confused psychotropic universe the album invents.
Taggart & Rosewood - "Samantha Corrie"


Exports are improving and exchange rates are shifting favorably. The Euro is getting stronger and so is the Mexican Peso. The EU is the world's largest dairy exporter and therefore, the most important exchange rate is the USD/Euro. Mexico is by far the biggest importer of U.S. dairy products, so this exchange rate is also very important.
A ten year review of USD/Euro shifts shows the importance of this exchange rate. From 2008 through the start of 2017, the Euro has gotten consistently weaker vs. the USD. In mid 2008, the USD/Euro exchange rate was $1.55 per one Euro. In mid 2014 (an excellent time for milk prices, the exchange rate hovered near $1.40. At the beginning of 2017, that exchange rate fell to $1.08, a 30% drop from the highs of 2008. What does that mean? In 2008, a European exporter of cheese selling cheese for one Euro, competed evenly against U.S. cheese selling for $1.55. By the beginning of 2017, the U.S. exporter would have to price his cheese at $1.08 to compete evenly against the same EU cheese exporters in the international market. A strong USD always sounds good (stronger is better), but when it comes to exports, a stronger USD makes it more difficult to compete in the international markets.
Currently, the exchange rate is $1.12, not a huge improvement, but hopefully a trend to a weaker USD and a better market for U.S. dairy products.
The largest buyer of U.S. dairy products is Mexico. Unfortunately, from 2008 to early 2017, U.S. dairy products have become more expensive in Mexico due to the exchange rates. However, during 2017, the Mexican Peso has strengthened vs. the USD, making U.S. dairy products more affordable in Mexico. Dairy sales from the U.S. to Mexico continue to be robust. A stronger Mexican Peso should support additional purchases.
However, not all exchange rates moved to the U.S. advantage. New Zealand is also a very strong international competitor. Roughly 80% of New Zealand's dairy production is exported. These exports are especially strong in the Pacific rim, but they are also strongly competitive worldwide. New Zealand dairy exports to the U.S. were up significantly in 2016. Unfortunately, the USD is continuing to strengthen against the NZD. As a result, New Zealand is again increasing milk production as exports expand. Dairy exports are very important to new Zealand's international trade balance.
Cheese prices, and therefore Class III milk prices, fell by nearly 50% in late 2008 and early 2009. Class III milk prices dropped from $20/cwt. to $10/cwt. As the USD/NZD exchange rates reversed in 2010 and 2011, cheese prices and Class III milk prices improved. There is a 96% correlation rate between cheese prices and the Class III milk price.
Dairy exports to Canada are about half the size of the exports to Mexico, but Canada is still the second largest importer of U.S. dairy products. Unlike Mexico, the USD is continuing to strengthen vs. the Canadian dollar. The impact of this on U.S. exports to Canada have been overshadowed recently by the Canadian price controls on ultra-filtered dairy components which have reduced dairy exports to Canada. At this point, the adverse impact of a stronger USD vs. the CAD is having a minimal impact.
With the two most important exchange rates, the Euro and the Mexican Peso, moving in a positive direction, U.S. dairy exports should continue to make gains in the coming months. While the shift to a weaker USD vs. the NZD is troubling, the shift to date is minimal and should have a minimal impact on U.S. dairy exports.
Exchange rate data is always very current and immediately available. Export/import data has a one month plus lag in availability, so the impact of recent moves in exchange rates cannot be correlated time-wise with the export/import data that is reviewed below. International prices of U.S. dairy products are impacted by international supply and demand (too much available product means lower prices), and by exchange rates.
There are three factors that can influence U.S. dairy prices, domestic supply and demand, international supply and demand, and exchange rates. Of these three, exchange rates are the most volatile.
Overall, U.S. dairy exports are continuing to improve. They are still well below the volumes and prices of 2014, but progress is still progress. Cheese exports so far in 2017 are running well above 2016 levels.
YTD, cheese imports are running below 2016 levels and close to 2015 levels. Lower imports mean more U.S. cheese is being used domestically.
In total, cheese net exports (export - imports) are well above 2016 levels. While April numbers show a drop, this is most likely a short-term fluctuation, not a change in trends.
Mexico is by far the largest importer of U.S. cheese, but the increases are coming from South Korea and Australia.
The reduction in imports has mostly occurred from reductions of cheese imports from Italy and New Zealand.
Butter exports remain near zero and imports are down, bringing net exports to a near "0" balance. As reviewed in the prior post, the consumer demand for butter is outstripping production, so imports will likely increase.
Exports of NDM continue at near record levels. NDM is the largest U.S. export product. Domestic prices are determined by international prices, which have improved, but are still well below 2014 prices.
This post has been mostly about exchange rates. As the world continues to recover from the recession levels of 2008, the U.S. is a clear economic leader. This has caused the USD to strengthen against other currencies. Now the challenge is how to continue as a world economic leader, while reducing the strength of the USD.
On June 1, May Class and Component prices were announced. They were generally up from the prior month. Class III milk increased 2.3% to $15.57/cwt. Butterfat also increased in value by 2.3% and milk protein took a major increase to $1.77/lb., a 4.5% increase. NDM, the basis for Class IV pricing, also had a nice increase of 3.8%. The only items in the red were dry whey, which is the basis for pricing Other Solids.
The long-term trends remain consistent with prior 2017 months with milk protein worth less than butterfat. Although Other Solids were below the prior month they remained near their current prices. Dry whey has recovered nicely in 2017, but is still below the 2014 record prices. The price of dry whey us determined in the international markets.
A closer look at the long-term trends shows a two year continuance of butterfat being more valuable than milk protein. With pressure on butter inventories, caused by low production and increased domestic consumption ( See prior post on consumption trends), butter and therefore butterfat continues to maintain high prices. While a high price for butterfat seems like a good scenario for producers, it has a very minimal impact on the Class III milk price.
Butter inventories have returned to prior year levels at end of April. Butter production is running at about the same level as the prior year. Domestic consumption continues and the increased demand is being met with butter imports. Exports remain near zero.
The high price of butter can be expected to continue throughout the remainder of 2017 as demand continues to grow and production continues at 2016 levels.
Cheese showed a nice increase in price in May, but inventories remain troubling. While there is increased consumption and increased exports, production levels remain above demand and inventories continue to grow to record levels. Domestic consumption cannot reduce this inventory. With an increasing milk supply, production will remain robust. A spike in exports is really the only solution. Exports (and imports) will be covered in the next post to this blog.
Class IV milk can move the uniform milk price significantly (see this post for an explanation.) Class IV skim milk prices are determined by the price of NDM, which in turn is determined by the international price of NDM. However, while the price of NDM has slightly increased from 2016, it is still way below the 2014 highs.
Because of this, the Class IV price remains well below the Class III price, and will probably remain there for the balance of 2017. Therefore Class I milk prices will remain linked to the Class III prices. While NDM export volumes have been increasing to record levels, the price will probably remain low.
Probably this most important item to watch is exports of cheese. Cheese pricing is the most important variable in calculating the Class III price. Europe is the world's largest dairy exporter and has enjoyed an exchange rate advantage in the international markets. That exchange rate is now shifting toward a stronger Euro. A continuation of this exchange trend will make European products more expensive compared to the U.S. New export/import data will be available soon and will be covered in the next post to this blog.

Q: Differentiate between same strings with different punctuation in C++ I am writing a C++ program to count the frequency of a word occurring in a text file. I am using the isalpha function to separate the words, but isalpha does not differentiate between same strings having different punctuation.
For example: "I own a company. In my company, there are 200 employees. I love my company."
In the above sentence it gives count of company as 3
How do I make it to differentiate the count like:
company 1
company, 1
company. 1

The loop which does the counting:
while(!isalpha(c) && !in.eof())
{
    c = in.get();
}

while(isalpha(c))
{
    out.push_back(tolower(c));
    c = in.get();
}

where 'out' is a string, 'in' is an istream value and c is a char.
[EDIT] Got Solution
while(!isalpha(c) && !ispunct(c) !in.eof())
{
    c = in.get();
}

while(isalpha(c) || ispunct(c))
{
    out.push_back(tolower(c));
    c = in.get();
}

A: I thought your way was better (I would expect company to have a count of 3).
But if you want to separate words and punctuation is significant, then use isspace() as a separator.
Note: The standard stream >> operator already does this for you.
std::string  word;
in >> word;
std::transform(word.begin(), word.end(), word.begin(), ::tolower);

The Plays of William Shakespeare, Volume 3
Por William Shakespeare
THE FABLE AND COMPOSITION
TAMING OF THE SHREW.
We have hitherto supposed Shakspeare the author of the Taming of the Shrew, but his property in it is extremely disputable. I will give my opinion, and the reasons on which it is founded. I suppose then the present play is not originally the work of Shakspeare, but restored by him to the stage, with the whole induction of the Tinker; and some other occasional improvements; especially in the character of Petruchio. It is very obvious that the Induction and the Play were either the works of different hands, or written at a great interval of time. The former is in our author's best manner, and a great part of the latter in his worst, or even below it. Dr. Warburton declares it to be certainly spurious; and without doubt, supposing it to have been written by Shakspeare, it must have been one of his earliest productions. Yet it is not mentioned in the list of his works by Meres, in 1598.
I have met with a facetious piece of Sir John Harrington, printed in 1596, (and possibly there may be an earlier edition,) called The Metamorphoses of Ajax, where I suspect an allusion to the old play; "Read the Booke of Taming a Shrew, which hath made a number of us so perfect, that now every one can rule a shrew in our countrey, save he that hath hir."—I am aware a modern linguist may object that the word book does not at present seem dramatick, but it was once technically so: Gosson in his Schoole of Abuse, containing a pleasaunt İnuective against Poets, Pipers, Players, Jesters, and such like Caterpillars of a Commonwealth, 1579, mentions "twoo prose bookes played at the Bell-Sauage:" and Hearne tells us, in a note at the end of William of Worcester, that he had seen b
a MS. in the nature of a Play or Interlude, intitled the Booke of Sir Thomas Moore.
And in fact there is such an old anonymous play in Mr. Pope's list: "A pleasant conceited history, called, the Taming of a Shrew-sundry times acted by the earl of Pembroke his servants." Which seems to have been republished by the remains of that company in 1607, when Shakspeare's copy appeared at the BlackFriars or the Globe.-Nor let this seem derogatory from the character of our poet. There is no reason to believe that he wanted to claim the play as his own; for it was not even printed till some years after his death; but he merely revived it on his stage as a
In support of what I have said relative to this play, let me only observe further at present, that the author of Hamlet speaks of Gonzago, and his wife Baptista; but the author of the Taming of the Shrew knew Baptista to be the name of a man. Mr. Capell indeed made me doubt, by declaring the authenticity of it to be confirmed by the testimony of Sir Aston Cockayn. I knew Sir Aston was much acquainted with the writers immediately subsequent to Shakspeare; and I was not inclined to dispute his authority but how was I surprised, when I found that Cockayn ascribes nothing more to Shakespeare, than the Induction-Wincotale and the Beggar! I hope this was only a slip of Mr. Capell's memory. FARMER.
Of this play the two plots are so well united, that they can hardly be called two without injury to the art with which they are interwoven. The attention is entertained with all the variety of a double plot, yet is not distracted by unconnected incidents.
The part between Catharine and Petruchio is eminently spritely and diverting. At the marriage of Bianca the arrival of the real father, perhaps, produces more perplexity than pleasure. The whole play is very popular and diverting. JOHNSON.
A story very similar to the Taming of the Shrew is to be found in the Tatler, Vol. iv, No. 231, the plot of which was evidently borrowed from this play of our author, though it is pretended to have been a real transaction in Lincolnshire.
Our author's Taming of the Shrew was written, I imagine, in 1594.-See An Attempt to ascertain the Order of Shakspeare's Plays, vol. ix. MALONE.
THE WINTER'S TALE.
THIS play, throughout, is written in the very spirit of its author. And in telling this homely and simple, though agreeable, country tale,
Our sweetest Shakspeare, fancy's child,
Warbles his native wood-notes wild.
This was necessary to observe in mere justice to the play; as the meanness of the fable, and the extravagant conduct of it, had misled some of great name into a wrong judgement of its merit; which, as far as it regards sentiment and character, is scarce inferior to any in the whole collection. WARBURTON.
Dr. Warburton, by "some of great name," means Dryden and Pope. See the Essay the end of the Second Part of The Conquest of Granada: "Witness the lameness of their plots; [the plots of Shakspeare and Fletcher ;] many of which, especially those which they wrote first, (for even that age refined itself in some measure,) were made up of some ridiculous incoherent story, which in one play many times took up the business of an age. I suppose I need not name Pericles, Prince of Tyre, [and here, bythe-by, Dryden expressly names Pericles as our author's production,] nor the historical plays of Shakspeare; besides many of the iest, as The Winter's Tale, Love's Labour's Lost, Measure for Measure, which were either grounded on impossibilities, or at b
least so meanly written, that the comedy neither caused your mirth, nor the serious part your concernment." Mr. Pope, in the Preface to his edition of our author's plays, pronounced the same ill-considered judgement on the play before us. "I should conjecture (says he) of some of the others, particularly Love's Labour's Lost, THE WINTER'S TALE, Comedy of Errors, and Titus Andronicus, that only some characters, single scenes, or perhaps a few particular passages, were of his hand."
None of our author's plays has been more censured for the breach of dramatick rules than The Winter's Tale. In confirmation of what Mr. Steevens has remarked in another place—" that Shakspeare was not ignorant of these rules, but disregarded them,"-it may be observed, that the laws of the drama are clearly laid down by a writer once universally read and admired, Sir Philip Sidney, who in his Defence of Poesy, 1595, has pointed out the very improprieties into which our author has fallen in this play. After mentioning the defects of the tragedy of Gorboduc, he adds : "But if it be so in Gorboducke, how much more in all the rest, where you shall have Asia of the one side, and Africke of the other, and so manie other under kingdomes, that the player when he comes in, must ever begin with telling where he is, or else the tale will not be conceived.-Now of time they are much more liberal. For ordinarie it is, that two young princes fall in love, after many traverses she is got with childe, delivered of a faire
boy he is lost, groweth a man, falleth in love, and is readie to
get another childe, and all this in two houres space: which how
absurd it is in sence, even sence may imagine."
The Winter's Tale is sneered at by B. Jonson, in the induction to Bartholomew Fair, 1614: "If there be never a servant-monster in the fair, who can help it, nor a nest of Antiques? He is loth to make nature afraid in his plays, like those that beget TALES, Tempests, and such like drolleries." By the nest of antiques, the twelve satyrs who are introduced at the sheep-shearing festival, are alluded to.-In his conversation with Mr. Drummond of Hawthornden, in 1619, he has another stroke at his beloved friend : "He (Jonson) said, that Shakspeare wanted art, and sometimes. sense for in one of his plays he brought in a number of men,
saying they had suffered shipwreck in Bohemia, where is no sea near by 100 miles." Drummond's Works, fol. 225, edit. 1711.
When this remark was made by Ben Jonson, The Winter's Tale was not printed. These words therefore are a sufficient answer to Sir T. Hanmer's idle supposition that Bohemia was an error of the press for Bythinia.
This play, I imagine, was written in the year 1604.
MALONE.
Sir Thomas Hanmer gave himself much needless concern that Shakspeare should consider Bohemia as a maritime country. He would have us read Bythinia: but our author implicitly copied the novel before him. Dr. Grey, indeed, was apt to believe that Dorastus and Faunia might rather be borrowed from the play; but I have met with a copy of it, which was printed in 1588.—Cervantes ridicules these geographical mistakes, when he makes the princess Micomicona land at Ossuna.-Corporal Trim's king of Bohemia" delighted in navigation, and had never a sea-port in his dominions ;" and my lord Herbert tells us, that De Luines the prime minister of France, when he was embassador there, demanded, whether Bohemia was an inland country, or lay "
upon the
sea?"
-There is a similar mistake in The Two Gentlemen of Verona, relative to that city and Milan. FARMER.
The story of this play is taken from The Pleasant History of Do-. rastus and Fawnia, written by Robert Greene. JOHNSON.
This play, as Dr. Warburton observes, with all its absurdities, is very entertaining; the character of Autolycus is very naturally conceived, and strongly represented.
JOHNSON.

Hi, please recheck your port range configurations and also read error message instead of write bs.
Hi, i need port 27015, ip it's different.
You can't assign multiple servers to same port.
Thanks for the answer, but i need when ip + port is busy to pass the other ip.
the problem is only for whmcs.
Yes then you have to enter a correct port range, for example start port 27015 and end port 27025!
Then first server use 27015, second 27016, etc. You entered 27015 for start port and 27015 for end port, so your OGP/WHMCS can assign only one server and not more, because there is no available ports which already shows there available port range -1 instead of 10.
First question is: Is WHMCS able to manage multiple IPs?
I can't answer, DieFem if you read the thread maybe you could answer as you created the WHMCS mod.
How can I add a list of ips to take?
I understand your problem and understand that the weird port range you have setup is for test purpose, but first things first, need to know if the WHMCS mod is able to manage multiple IPs. Only dev or confirmed user of this mod can answer.
If it is confirmed it should support multiple IPs then we can see why it doesn't work for you there is maybe a misconfiguration somewhere, and if it doesn't support multiple IPs, then you have your answer.
The module does not think it can handle multiple ip addresses. From what I understand, from the way is the problem.
I put a higher link through which a boy explains where the problem comes from.
would I have how to make multiple ip addresses accepted?
Wait, need dev or experienced user to confirm how it works.
well, I'll wait. Thank you!
What this thread says is right, the only way to use multiple IPs is using multiple products, one for each IP, and using the "Force IP" setting.
I did the API due to the high demand of it. But actually I never had a license or a production environment to test it properly.
But this is an open source project, and I'll be glad to help any PHP developer (or enthusiast) to add or change any needed feature, but I will not do it on my own because currently I don't have the necessary environment to do that.
what do you need to get multiple ip addresses?
i have whmcs Version: 7.1.1 licensed.
OK so it is not supported to manage multiple IPs in WHMCS mod unless you make multiple products for each IP.
that would mean creating more counter-strike products at 32 slots on different ips added to Force Ip, so it's not a solution. If I could help modify the script?
I would need SSH(I would prefer it) or FTP access to the host/hosts where WHMCS and OGP are installed, also administrator access to both sites. And finally, I would need some ideas on how you expect it to work, your approach seems good, by letting the api use the next IP if there are no more ports available in the port range, but maybe other users would prefer to have it as a Configurable Option.
where they can contact you personally, whmcs data is sensitive.
EDIT: We've been working together, and found out a simple solution, I've told to Akihito to test it a bit more deeply, then I'll update the file if all works correctly.

Quills es una película estadounidense-germano-británica de 2000, dirigida por Philip Kaufman y escrita por Doug Wright a partir de su obra de teatro homónima.

Argumento
La película trata el tema de la corrupción del espíritu, el amor, el sexo y la religión, desde el insólito punto de vista del Marqués de Sade.

Inicia con la magistral voz del Marqués narrando: "Querido lector, tengo una pequeña historia perversa para contar, sacada de las páginas de la historia, adornada, cierto. Pero garantizada a estimular nuestros sentidos".
El trasfondo es la tormentosa época de Francia durante los últimos años de la Revolución. Allí, esperando la guillotina, se encuentra Mademoiselle Renard, una joven aristócrata que, durante su vida "infligía dolor y placer con igual entusiasmo" hasta que se ve a merced de su cruel verdugo.

Contemplando la escena desde la ventana de una prisión se encuentra la figura del Marqués, impasible. Mientras Mademoiselle Renard es colocada bajo la cuchilla, el Marqués escribe, tarareando la canción infantil "Au Claire de la Lune".

Luego de la escena de la ejecución, nos movemos al Asilo Mental de Charenton, algunos años después, en el que el Marqués (Geoffrey Rush), está encerrado, pero con gran ánimo, continúa escribiendo, y en secreto, le entrega sus
manuscritos a la joven y bella lavandera Madeleine Leclérc (Kate Winslet), para ser publicados. Madeleine ve en el Marqués a una figura admirable y seductora, y algunas veces entra en secreto a su celda para conversar con él.

El resto del Manicomio de Charenton está lleno de armonía, es un lugar feliz debido a su joven director, el Abbé de Coulmier (Joaquín Phoenix), que trata a sus internos con cariño y compasión, incitándoles a que su tratamiento sea a través de expresiones artísticas como el teatro, el canto y la pintura. Mientras tanto, el libro secreto del Marqués alcanza su publicación e ilegal venta: "Justine". En poco tiempo, todo Francia está al tanto de ese libro, incluso el Emperador Napoleón Bonaparte, que escandalizado, ordena que todas las copias del libro sean quemadas y que el autor sea fusilado. Sin embargo, gracias a la astuta sugerencia de Delbené, su consejero, manda llamar al doctor Royer-Collard (Michael Caine), a inspeccionar Charenton y sobre todo a controlar al Marqués. Royer-Collard es un psiquiatra que ante los ojos de los demás es respetado y admirado como un hombre severo y decidido, pero que en realidad, es un hombre tan macábro y perverso como el Marqués.

El doctor llega a Charenton, alegándole a Coulmier que uno de sus internos, De Sade, ha llegado a ofender a toda Francia debido a la publicación de "Justine", y que a menos que logre silenciarlo, Charenton será cerrado. Coulmier, entonces, alarmado, habla con el Marqués y le hace ver la situación, ante lo cual el Marqués promete no volver a publicar nada.

Coulmier confía en su palabra, y le comenta al doctor Royer-Collard que el Marqués es más que un paciente, es su amigo.
El Marqués cumple su promesa: No vuelve a publicar, pero continúa exaltando no solo a Charenton sino a París.
Durante una noche en la que los internos presentan una comedia titulada "Los Crímenes del Amor", el Marqués ofende burlescamente a Royer-Collard, parodiando su casamiento con la joven Simone, una encantadora jovencita de 16 años que sufre bajo la tiranía de su esposo.

Debido al escándalo provocado, Royer-Collard cierra el teatro de Charenton y obliga al Abbé de Coulmier a hacer algo si no quiere que el Ministerio se dé cuenta de la verdad.

Mientras Coulmier intenta por todos los medios de piedad y paciencia de lograr que el Marqués se comporte, su relación con Madeleine comienza a tomar un punto más serio y grotesco: Coulmier se está enamorando de la joven lavandera. El Abbé despoja al Marqués de todas sus plumas, lo que ocasiona en este una desesperación que desquita en su atormentada esposa Renée Pelaggie. La Marquesa Pelaggie, harta de su marido, acude a casa de Royer-Collard, casa que está siendo remodelada por el joven arquitecto
Prouix, allí, la Marquesa le ruega a Royer-Collard que no deje que el Marqués logre su cometido.

El Marqués, mientras, encuentra la manera de plasmar "todos los demonios del Infierno de su cabeza" en sus escritos, con vino y un pequeño hueso de pollo, escribe en sus sábanas.

Madeleine, deleitada, transcribe el escrito del Marqués en compañía de su madre ciega.
Pero al día siguiente, el secreto de Madeleine es revelado debido a que la sábana aún queda manchada, lo que obliga a Coulmier a despojar al Marqués de todas sus pertenencias. El Marqués entonces, atormenta al joven sacerdote con su voto de castidad.

Al momento en que el Marqués queda despojado de sus posesiones, Simone se adentra en la literatura libertina de "Justine". El Marqués, entonces, decidido a no dejarse vencer, toma una medida extrema para escribir: Pinchándose los dedos, y utilizando cada gota de su sangre para escribir un libro entero sobre su ropa. Orgulloso le enseña su nueva creación a Madeleine, que encantada le abre la puerta y el Marqués se fuga a alborotar a los pacientes de Charenton, al descubrirle, Royer-Collard le envía a su celda, donde Coulmier es encargado de castigarle. Coulmier le dice al Marqués que se desnude, la perturbadora escena plasma en el Abbé la desesperación a la que todo el asunto le está llevando.

Madeleine por su parte es azotada como castigo. Luego de eso, ella le confiesa a Coulmier que la única manera de aceptar su vida es a través de la literatura del Marqués. Coulmier, por su parte, le dice a Madeleine que la enviará a otro lugar.
Y esa misma noche, Madeleine se dirige a la habitación del Abbé, donde le confiesa que lo ama y donde se dan un beso apasionado pero cortado de súbito por el atormentado sacerdote. Madeleine abandona su habitación sumida en lágrimas, y Coulmier queda impactado en su habitación.

Simone, mientras tanto, guiada por la lujúria, seduce a Prouix, y se fuga con él rumbo a Inglaterra, dejándole a Royer-Collard una carta y la edición de "Justine" que había tenido en secreto.
Lleno de furia, Royer-Collard envía al Marqués directo a su más horrible tortura: La Silla Calmante.
Al término del suplicio, Madeleine se dirige con tristeza a la celda vacía y oscura del ahora desposeído Marqués y le suplica que le cuente una última historia antes de irse. El Marqués se rehúsa durante un tiempo, pero luego idea un plan para contar su última historia: A través de los agujeros en las paredes de cada celda, el Marqués dictará una historia, que se irá pasando de interno a interno hasta llegar a Madeleine, al final del pasillo, donde la transcribirá. Sin embargo, la historia tan apasionante y violenta del Marqués hace que los internos se exalten, y que uno de ellos, Dauphin tome una vela y con deleite incendie su celda, y en poco tiempo, todo Charenton se transforma en un infierno ardiente. En medio de la desesperación que hay para intentar apagar las llamas, Coulmier busca desesperadamente a Madeleine, que es víctima de Bouchon. El Marqués también grita su nombre desde su celda. Cuando al fin encuentra su paradero, Coulmier ve a Bouchon manchado de sangre huir aterrado. Y Coulmier, horrorizado mira el cadáver ensangrentado de Madeleine en el tanque en que las sábanas eran lavadas, y llora amargamente.

Luego del incidente del incendio, Royer-Collard toma el control sobre los castigos de los internos, de la manera más cruel imaginable, y atormentando al lastimado Coulmier con el hecho de que fueron las palabras del Marqués las que llevaron a Madeleine a la muerte.

Y esa noche, Coulmier baja a la celda del Marqués, dónde le hace revelar que, a pesar de que sólo haber demostrado lujuria, este en verdad la amaba y le dolía en gran manera su muerte.

Coulmier, entonces conduce al Marqués a una cámara de operaciones en el que los asistentes de Royer-Collard le cortan la lengua.
El Abbé le entrega a Royer-Collard la lengua del Marqués guardada en un frasco, en el que le confiesa al doctor que nunca más espera volver a dormir en paz después de eso.

Esa noche, Coulmier desciende a la capilla en que se encuentra el cadáver de Madeleine. Luego de derramar lágrimas sobre ella, el Abbé se sorprende al ver que Madeleine está viva. Aquí tiene lugar una de las escenas más impactantes de la película, relacionada con la necrofilia. En plena iglesia, frente al altar, Coulmier derrama lágrimas de tormento al contemplar el cuerpo muerto de Madeleine. Coulmier destapa el cadáver de su manta dejando a Madeleine completamente desnuda y empieza a besarle los senos; Coulmier delira que Madeleine despierta y tiene relaciones con ella. De pronto, con horror y desesperación vuelve la mirada al Cristo que hay frente a él, llorando gruesas lágrimas de sangre.

El Abbé de Coulmier descubre horrorizado que Madeleine sí había estado muerta todo ese tiempo. Inmediatamente el Abbé es despertado por un guardia, y se da cuenta de que todo ha sido una pesadilla. El guardia informa al Abbé que el Marqués está echado en su celda moribundo, donde ha escrito su última obra en las paredes con heces.

Coulmier se acerca conmovido hasta lo más profundo del alma, luego de decir la oración de Extremaunción, le ofrece al Marqués el Crucifijo de su Rosario para que lo bese, pero el Marqués lo aferra con los dientes y lo engulle. Coulmier intenta sacárselo de la boca pero es inútil: El Marqués engulle a Cristo y muere.
Coulmier finalmente se quiebra y con su rostro lleno de dolor y de horror, lanza un grito lastimero y desesperado.

Un año después, a Charenton llega el nuevo Abbé du Maupas, donde es bienvenido por el ahora director del Manicomio Royer-Collard, que le enseña en lo que se ha convertido Charenton: Una estricta institución donde los internos publican las obras del Marqués de Sade.

Royer-Collard advierte al nuevo Abbé, sin embargo, que aún quedan unos pocos incurables propensos a la violencia, y le lleva a la antigua celda del Marqués, donde se encuentra encerrado, con un aspecto horroroso y descuidado, el antiguo Abbé de Coulmier, que le suplica al Abbé du Maupas que le traiga papel y una pluma para escribir la historia.

Luego de que Maupas salga corriendo asustado, se abre la ventanilla de la celda de Coulmier, dónde Madame Leclérc (la madre de Madeleine) le entrega papel y una pluma negra, diciéndole que la use bien: "Se lo debes a ella". Coulmier empieza a escribir mientras la voz del Marqués le va dictando el principio de otra macabra historia.

Let Me Put You On: Singles from some of NC's finest
Sonny Miles: Tre
Hailing from Winston-Salem, North Carolina, Sonny Miles gifts the world a soulful three-part single. From the harmonies to the detailed instrumentation, Tre is a work of art that every music enthusiast should be aware of. The first track, "Cuff," is one that could be its own single due to the layered production and its both playful and meaningful composition revealing how everyone wants to cuff him. The second track, "Looseleaf" is an appropriate descension from "Cuff" but the perfect catalyst for a stoner's elevation. "Nghtwlker," is an alternative southern-soul song meant for lovers, an ending note to a short-lived but heavenly piece of work. If this is what Miles can do with just three tracks, the North Carolinian is going to bless us with something masterful in the latter future.
Lesthegenius: Fml
Based in Raleigh, North Carolina, Lesthegenius has a sound that calls for attention. His voice on Fml is captivating and will have you clinging onto every word he raps. The narrative he shares on this single is relatable when it comes to miscommunication and the "tug and pull" in any over-indulgent relationship. The production holds a calm yet mid-tempo energy, making the track a cool blend of introspection and entertainment.
Jaxson Free: Applaud
This single is for the fellas who like to vibe-out alone with LED lights, a speaker confessing what's been heavy on their hearts, and a mind stressing over the girl who keeps them in the dark. Also based in Raleigh, Jaxson Free has an effortless voice that will encourage listeners to always run this track back-to-back.
In 2019, these three talented artists united on a song called "Ralieghwood Hills." This song found its way to President Obama's ear, landing them on his "Favorite Music of 2019" playlist. This was obviously huge for them, granting them national exposure and a top-streamed song. But I would also add how inspiring it was to see them gain recognition and appreciation from the former president. I'm from Greensboro, North Carolina where the music scene is almost non-existent. So to understand that there are a few exceptionally talented individuals who live just an hour away is what gets me excited for the future of music in North Carolina, and it's thanks to these three talents.

Top 10 upcoming video games of 2017
by Marcos Thadani ● Last updated on Jan 7, 2017
10. Gravity Rush 2
With its gravity-based gameplay and comic book aesthetic, Gravity Rush 2 could be on of 2017's most appealing games.
The original Gravity Rush sure was an original and beautiful-looking game, but it could be argued that it failed to realize its potential. But developer SIE Japan Studio's upcoming Gravity Rush 2 looks likely to improve on the original in every respect, offering a bigger open world to play in and enhanced gameplay.
And it's clear that the gravity-based gameplay of the original was one of its best features, and Gravity Rush 2 will expand on it as it will feature three different attack styles for players to master and several large bosses to take down. Plus players will also be able to fight alongside protagonist Kat's partner Raven and even execute tag-team manoeuvres to deal with enemies, in a game that could end up being one of 2017's best.
Release date: January 20, 2017. Available on PS4.

07 de Febrero del 2018 6:07 am.
Santos Laguna will travel to McAllen, Texas in March for a friendly against Chivas, taking advantage of the FIFA date to reconnect with its large and valued fan base across the border.
Los Guerreros will arrive on Tuesday, March 20, returning to McAllen for the first time since 2012. The game will take place on Wednesday, March 21 at H.E.B. Park, with a kick-off time scheduled for 8:00 p.m. Tickets are already on sale and can be purchased here: http://bit.ly/2GVrsJO. Activities with fans and contests to win tickets will be announced a later date.
McAllen is located at the southern tip of Texas in the Rio Grande Valley, five miles from the U.S.-Mexico border and within close proximity to Reynosa, Taumaulipas. With the trip only six weeks away, players are already feeling the excitement of returning stateside.
"It's important that we make these trips and get closer to the fans who always support us, and show their love for these colors regardless of the fact that they can't see us so often in person," said team captain Carlos Izquierdoz.
One of Club Santos' newest additions, Uruguayan central defender Gerardo Alcoba, is looking forward to getting to know the team's fan base in the United States after his two years of traveling for interntional friendlies with his former club Pumas.
Alcoba, who has worn the captain's armband for los Guerreros in Copa MX play, says the fan support in the USA is essential to keeping the team's motivation high.
As part of its philosophy, Santos Laguna works to serve communities everywhere it travels and aside from organizing activities to unite with its fans, since 2015, los Guerreros have held 18 social activities for underpriviliged communities in the United States, several of which have been held in conjuntion with United Way.
In 2017, Santos Laguna formed an official partnership with United Way, continuing in its forward-thinking philosophy by becoming the first Mexican club to form a partnership with a global non-profit organization. Santos firmly believes in uniting communities through public service in accordance with its motto "Ganar Sirviendo," or Winning by Serving is the Only Option. During every visit, Los Guerreros look for every opportunity to include their fans in these social activities to encourage the act of public service among followers.

So many great beach memories and wonderful views from the Fairmont. We think we'll plan a golf to this time around also...!
Great island! Great destination! Great people, lots of beautiful places, Warwick beach, and so many others!
Can't wait to meet again!!
